game room

We really spoil our kids. A has just had a birthday and got 2 or 3 games for his XBox and today Halflife 2 came out so A did not have to try too hard to get his father, also a game addict, to buy it. J moaned about loving A more than her, a usual ploy to wind daddy around her little finger and persuded him to take her to the game shop too and buy the Sims.
A only got Halo 2 last week and he has already 'finished' the game although he does say he has multiplay and capture the flag to play on it. I am torn between' what a waste of money' and 'at least it keeps them off the streets'. I am quite a bit worried that A will spend the rest of his life in front of his pc or game boxes but he frequently reassures me that this is not the case and that he does 'have a life' outside the game room!

    Adam spends half his life on his X Box. After a stressful day at work he wants to come home and "shoot some bad guys". He completes games at lightning speed too, but it's his money, not mine.
